The canyonlands board is fully supported by DENX Software Engineering.
This means that you will always be able to build a working default
configuration with just minimal interaction.

Please be aware that you will need the "powerpc" cross development
tools for the following steps. Make sure that the directory which
contains the binaries of your
ELDK are in your PATH.

To be sure that no intermediate results of previous builds are left
in your Linux kernel source tree you can clean it up as follows:

bash$ make mrproper

The following command selects a standard configuration for the canyonlands
board that has been extensively tested. It is recommended to use this
as a starting point for other, customized configurations:

Note: The name of this default configuration file is arch/powerpc/configs/44x/canyonlands_defconfig . By (recursively) listing the contents of the arch/powerpc/configs/ directory you can easily find out which other default configurations are available.

If you don't want to change the default configuration you can now
continue to use it to build a kernel image:

bash$ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xxFP- uImage

Otherwise you can modify the kernel configuration as follows:

bash$ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xxFP- config

or

bash$ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xxFP- menuconfig

Note: Because of problems (especially with some older Linux kernel
versions) the use of "make xconfig" is
not recommended.

bash$ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xxFP- uImage

The make target uImage uses
the tool mkimage (from the U-Boot package) to
create a Linux kernel image in
arch/powerpc/boot/uImage

which is immediately
usable for download and booting with U-Boot.

In case you need a DTB to boot your linux kernel, you need the following
step:

bash$ make canyonlands.dtb

In case you configured modules you will also need to compile the modules:
